Conservapedia:How Conservapedia Differs from Wikipedia (view source)
Revision as of 18:48, March 1, 2026
, March 1no edit summary
# Wikipedia is part of the [[hearsay society]], drawing no distinction between what is factual and what is unreliable [[hearsay]]. We at [[Conservapedia]] separate the wheat from the chaff.
# We at [[Conservapedia]] allow broader reuse of our material than Wikipedia does. By entering information on Wikipedia you are actually losing rights to your own material to the extent anyone else edits it, as you cannot then copy your entry for use elsewhere without complying with Wikipedia's burdensome copyright restrictions.

# We are an educational resource, including lectures and study guides, and we welcome students and adults seeking to learn. Wikipedia has no lectures or study guides and many of its entries and discussions are anti-intellectual in nature.

#Conservapedia has come up with a key [[wiki]] metric that measures tolerance/intolerance at a wiki. Namely, the [[Essay: Edits to blocked editor accounts ratio at a wiki|edits to blocked editor accounts ratio at a wiki]] which measures the close-mindedness/intolerance and [[groupthink]] of a wiki. Mathematically, the edits to blocked editor accounts ratio can be expressed as: Edits to blocked editor accounts ratio at a wiki = E % BE, where E is the number of edits to the wiki and BE equals the number of blocked editor accounts of the wiki. The edits to blocked editor accounts ratio was partly inspired by [[Andrew Schlafly]]'s essay [[Essay:Quantifying Openmindedness|Quantifying Openmindedness]]. Unlike Conservapedia, Wikipedia does not have a policy where members of the public are free to set up debate pages and engage in vigorous debate where the debate pages are lightly moderated (see: [https://conservapedia.com/Category:Conservapedia_Debates Conservapedia debates pages] and [[Conservapedia:Blocking policy]]).

# We respect users' control over their own talk pages as much as possible. Wikipedia treats users' own talk pages like government or public property, and it becomes a place for Wikipedia editors to bully users.

# We do not encourage the insertion of distracting "stub templates" in entries. Wikipedia has numerous distracting templates on entries.

# We do not ban users ''based on their comments elsewhere, such as on their own blog''. Wikipedia will monitor users' blogs and ban them for their exercise of free speech on their own blogs.

# We do not encourage anti-intellectual editor names that are attracted to Wikipedia. For example, the Wikipedia administrator who initially deleted the entry about Conservapedia uses the name "Nearly Headless Nick." The ''Hartford Courant'' observed that another editor posted under the name "The Ostrich." These names send an inappropriate anti-intellectual message for an encyclopedia.
